Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Chapter 427 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix (First Update)
Siam City, Royal Palace.

Inside the general command room, a command and operations center for coordinating the entire war has been established since the war began.

Senior officers from the Army, Navy, Air Force and various logistical departments can be found here.

The newly enthroned King Phupong of Siam personally took part in the war. He had been following the progress of the war since the declaration of war two days ago.

In order to make things more convenient for himself, he set up his headquarters within the imperial palace.

"Your Majesty, the Steel Battalion of the Jeko Group has been dispatched."

Army Commander Basong and Chief of General Staff Narong came hurriedly and reported the shocking news that had been confirmed repeatedly to King Pupeng.

"what?"

Pu Peng stood up from his chair suddenly, his face full of shock.

He has been very anxious these past two days. Although the fighting on the border is still at a stalemate, he knows in his heart that if he loses the war, his fate will definitely be bad. He does not want to experience the loss of sovereignty and humiliation of the country.

Now, hearing the news about the Steel Battalion, the real ace force of the JEC Group, he couldn't help but get nervous.

"It has been confirmed that the Iron Battalion attacked our three military camps in Kanchanaburi Province last night, causing more than 5,000 casualties. They have been active in the vicinity today, relying on their strong individual strength to harass our troops."

Army Commander Basong quickly explained the situation, and at the same time stood in front of the sand table, marking the Steel Battalion's activity area with small flags so that Pu Peng could clearly see the battlefield situation.

"This location is only more than 200 kilometers away from Manchester City. The other side is not going to use a decapitation tactic."

When Pu Peng saw the area displayed on the sand table, goose bumps appeared on his arms. The first thing that came to his mind was that the Steel Battalion was coming for him.

With the inhuman combat power of the Iron Battalion, if they were really rushed into Manchester City, Pupon felt that there was a high possibility that he would be captured alive. He was extremely scared.

After all, the Steel Battalion's fierce combat effectiveness is a reputation earned through bloody battles.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the deployment of the Iron Battalion will be an opportunity for us."

On the other side, Chief of General Staff Naron shook his head and expressed a different opinion.

"Don't worry about security, Your Majesty. We have seven divisions stationed near Manchester City, including the 1st Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Division, 9th Infantry Division, 11th Infantry Division, 2nd Cavalry Division (Light Armored Division), 3rd Engineer Division, and 1st Heavy Armored Division. There are more than troops. Even if the Iron Battalion is made of steel, it cannot defeat our troops."

Holding the baton in his hand, Narong pointed it to the southern part of Kanchanaburi Province, where there were large plains.

"The Iron Battalion appeared here, right near the Duran Highway. Many of the logistical supplies we send to the border need to pass through here, and they want to use this to threaten our logistical defense line.

But the vast plains here are not their home ground. Your Majesty, we have an opportunity to completely wipe out the Steel Battalion."

The more Nalong spoke, the more excited his voice became, causing Basong and Pupeng to look over.

"Wipe out the entire Iron Battalion?"

Hearing this, Pupeng opened his mouth wide and stared at Nalong. Does this guy know what he is talking about?
If the Iron Battalion could be wiped out so easily, could it still have such a great reputation?

Seeing King Pupeng's expression, Nalong seemed to know what he was thinking and continued, "Many people have made the famous Iron Battalion a myth. It is undeniable that the Iron Battalion is powerful, but everyone has overlooked one problem: the Iron Battalion is not invincible.

They are only relying on the complex environment and strong individual combat capabilities to dominate. They will still die when facing artillery fire, and they will not be able to survive if they are hit by machine guns, not to mention rocket launchers and aerial bombardments.

The armored force stationed in Manchester is the nemesis of the Steel Battalion. Your Majesty, now an opportunity to bring honor to our family is before us. As long as we send out our First Heavy Armored Division and find the Steel Battalion, we can annihilate it completely.

This is a rare opportunity. If we miss it and they flee into the forest or city, it will be difficult to deal with them."

After hearing what Nalong said, Pu Peng was startled and thought it made sense!
He hurriedly looked at the map and asked, "Is it really feasible? Commander Basong, what do you think?"

Basong was a little annoyed that he didn't see this opportunity and gave Nalong a chance to perform in vain. At this time, he could only flatter: "Your Majesty, if the Iron Battalion didn't react, it would really be possible to do so.

On the plains, their biological suits are no match for our tanks and armored vehicles.

However, to be on the safe side, I suggest sending out the 2nd Cavalry Division to coordinate with this more mobile light armored division to prevent the Steel Battalion from escaping our encirclement."

After getting Basong's confirmation, Pupeng's heart began to beat with excitement. He felt his blood rushing to his head and his breathing became heavy.

"That means, that means we can really defeat the Iron Battalion, the ace force of the Jeko Group?"

There was three parts of disbelief, three parts of excitement, three parts of agitation, and one part of suspicion in Pu Peng's voice.

The Iron Battalion is so famous. As the first mecha unit on Blue Planet, the soldiers in it are all genetically modified non-humans. They have created many sensational and exaggerated battle records. Their reputation is built on tens of thousands of corpses.

If he could really destroy the Iron Battalion, it would not only greatly dampen the morale of the Jeko Group, but also boost the country's support rate that had fallen due to the war. Who would dare to say that he was an unqualified king at that time?

Because he started a war as soon as he ascended the throne, he was often slandered and cursed by the old conservatives in Siam.

"Yes, your Majesty, we will win."

Nalong spoke in a firm tone. He knew that at this moment, he had to be firm in his will, otherwise the opportunity would slip away.

"Your Majesty, please give the order. We will expand your territory for you, severely damage or even eliminate the Iron Battalion, and strike down the arrogance of the Jeko Group. Victory will definitely belong to us, to the great King. For this reason, I am willing to serve as your Majesty's eyes and personally go down to command the battle. I respectfully ask your Majesty to agree to my request."

Basong waved his arms and spoke passionately, and even planned to go to the front line to command the troops himself.

With so much armored force protecting him, he didn't think he would have any concerns about his safety.

These words made Pu Peng's heart surge. He nodded with satisfaction and clenched his fists and said, "I agree to your request. As the king, I give you an order to order the 1st Heavy Armored Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division to start the encirclement and annihilation operation against the Steel Battalion."

After he finished speaking, he patted the two men on the shoulders with satisfaction and said with emotion: "You two are worthy of being my Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks for discovering such a big flaw in the enemy right after the battle. This time, we have completely annihilated the Steel Battalion. I will publicize your achievements throughout the country, no, to the world. By then, you two will be famous generals of the world."

Basong's breathing stagnated. If he could destroy the Steel Battalion, it would surely cause a sensation around the world.

How many flowers and praises he would receive at that time was beyond imagination. When thinking of this, Basong, who was in a high position, felt uncontrollable excitement.

This opportunity to leave his name in history is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must seize it to give the world a little shock as a famous general.

12 month 27 number.

On the third day of the war, the 1st Heavy Armored Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division (Light Armored Division) stationed in Manchester joined forces and set out from Manchester towards Kanchanaburi Province.

These two troops, the former was modeled after the armored division of the United States. In the past six months, it has replaced a large number of old equipment and accepted equipment procurement and instructor guidance from the United States.

如今全师装备了150辆M1A2主战坦克，以及55辆M60A3坦克，105辆M8轻型坦克，三十余架武装直升机，120辆M113式装甲输送车，45辆斯崔克装甲车，165辆康曼多轮式装甲车，140辆M1283装甲运兵车、12门海马斯火箭炮等等不等的装备。

In comparison, although the armored division of the United States has shrunk significantly in data and has to use some old equipment to make up for it, it is still a powerful land combat force.

Especially the 150 M1A2 main battle tanks, one of the most advanced tanks in the world today, each costs around tens of millions of US dollars. There are as many as 1 such tanks in the 150st Heavy Armored Division.

The latter's 2nd Cavalry Division was equipped with 105 M10 light tanks and more than old armored vehicles of different types.

In addition to the M10 light tanks and M1A2 main battle tanks newly purchased from the United States, as well as some armed helicopters, the other vehicles of these two forces were basically produced during the Cold War. Many of them have been discontinued, but they are still shining in countries like Siam.

Before the rise of the Jeko Group, it was enough for Siam to protect itself.

However, after the rise of the Jeko Group, in order to deal with the threat, the Siamese 2nd Cavalry Division had to purchase more powerful weapons from the United States, such as the M10 light tanks of the nd Cavalry Division, which replaced the Scorpion light tanks originally developed and produced by the British Empire in the s and s.

Although these two forces are mixed with a lot of old equipment, when combined, they have more than 400 tanks, 700 to 800 armored vehicles and artillery of different types, plus the logistical vehicles prepared for them, which is a standard steel torrent.

After all, China's GDP ranks among the top 30 countries in the world, so it is still very intimidating to send out such an armored torrent.

Because they were worried that the Jeko Group would receive the news and evacuate the Iron Camp, this armored torrent rushed towards the target at full speed after the attack, and tried their best to block the relevant information along the way.

With a distance of just 200 kilometers, relying on the road network, only a few armored vehicles broke down and the large force successfully entered Kanchanaburi Province. More than four hours later, it appeared near the Dulan Highway where the Steel Battalion was operating.

In an armored command vehicle, Basong was having a pleasant conversation with the commander of the 1st Heavy Armored Division, Shenimo.

"Fifteen minutes ago, a group of genetic warriors from the Iron Battalion appeared near Xiangyu City. Witnesses spotted more than twenty genetic warriors one after another. According to the organization of the Jeko Group, this is the strength of one company of theirs.

Just two hours ago, witnesses also spotted two teams of Steel Battalion genetic warriors appearing near Xiangyu City, which is very close to the Duran Highway. They must be using it as a base and want to frequently harass our logistics.

Moreover, Xiangyu City is an industrial city, and many factories have now switched to producing military supplies. They might even want to attack Xiangyu City and destroy our factories.”

A map was spread out on the table, and Senimo's eyes were bright.

Now their iron torrent is only twenty kilometers away from Xiangyu City in a straight line. They can arrive there in less than half an hour. The self-propelled howitzers in the army can reach this location.

Previously, in order not to scare away the Steel Battalion, they did not send out fighter planes to bomb.

Although the Steel Battalion was spotted, the enemy was not marching in a dense mass, but rather scattered, one in the east and one in the west. If you attacked one, it would alert the others.

If the other party escapes and hides in the mountains and cities, then we will be letting the tiger return to the mountains.

In addition, the Iron Battalion is the treasure of the Jeko Group. If they send out fighter jets, the Jeko Group will definitely immediately send fighter jets to protect them and transfer personnel by helicopter.

However, for the 1st Heavy Armored Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division, this problem is not a problem.

The two forces had a total of 1,200 combat vehicles, dozens of helicopters in the sky, and a total number of more than 35,000 people.

The fan-shaped encirclement deployed by this force can capture the Steel Battalion in one fell swoop, and the enemy will definitely not be able to escape.

"Let me bestow upon the Jeko Group its first major defeat."

Basong's eyes were filled with excitement, his heart was beating as hard as a drum, his blood was surging like fire, and his whole body was on fire.

He wanted to make a big news and wipe out the Steel Battalion, the ace force of the Jeko Group, in Xiangyu City.

"Report, reporting from the rear, the large drone numbered TZ213 discovered that the Steel Battalion is moving towards Red Maple Mountain."

In the command vehicle, a staff officer received a report from below.

The large high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft purchased from the United States discovered the new movements of the Steel Battalion.

"This is an attempt to escape. Pass the order. All troops should attack at full speed and encircle and annihilate the Iron Battalion."

Basong jumped up immediately. It was very difficult to completely conceal such a huge torrent of steel attack. It was too late when the other party discovered it at this time.

They are two fully mechanized steel torrents. How can the other side's two legs outrun wheels and tracks?

Even if it can burst out at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, it is only temporary and cannot be maintained for a long time.

As the orders were passed down layer by layer, a steel torrent of 35,000 people moved south and drove into the plains on the south side from the Duran Highway.

The steel tracks crushed large tracts of bushes, knocked down small trees, and stirred up large tracts of wet soil, forming a huge front of more than ten kilometers, pushing forward all the way.

In space, satellites from countless countries changed their orbits and paid close attention to the big move here.

Some countries with strong information and intelligence capabilities understood the cause of the incident through the gathered intelligence.

"The Steel Battalion is finished."

Most countries with satellite surveillance of this area have come to the same conclusion.

The human body with flesh and blood, even with biological armor, cannot compete with such a large number of steel torrent troops.
